Classification of Metaplectic Fusion Categories

Eddy Ardonne, Peter E. Finch, Matthew Titsworth

In this paper, we study a family of fusion and modular systems realizing fusion categories Grothendieck equivalent to the representation category for so(2p+1)2. These categories describe non-abelian anyons dubbed ‘metaplectic anyons’. We obtain explicit expressions for all the F- and R-symbols. Based on these, we conjecture a classification for their monoidal equivalence classes from an analysis of their gauge invariants and define a function which gives us the number of classes.

Classification of connected étale algebras in multiplicity-free modular fusion categories at rank six

Ken Kikuchi, Kah-Sen Kam, Fu-Hsiang Huang

We classify connected étale algebras $A$ 's in multiplicity-free modular fusion categories (MFCs) $\mathcal{B}$'s at rank six, namely $\operatorname{rank}(\mathcal{B})=6$. There are eight MFCs in total and the result indicates that only $s o(5)_2$ has nontrivial connected étale algebra. We briefly mention anyon condensation as it is used to determine the category of right $A$-modules in $s o(5)_2$. Finally, we discuss physical applications, specifically proving spontaneous $\mathcal{B}$-symmetry breaking (SSB) of these MFCs. The discussion also includes predicting ground state degeneracies and SSB in massive renormalization group flows from two non-unitary minimal models.

We classify connected étale algebras AAA 's in multiplicity-free modular fusion categories (MFCs) B\mathcal{B}B's at rank six, namely rank⁡(B)=6\operatorname{rank}(\mathcal{B})=6rank(B)=6. There are eight MFCs in total and the result indicates that only so(5)2s o(5)_2so(5)2​ has nontrivial connected étale algebra. We briefly mention anyon condensation as it is used to determine the category of right AAA-modules in so(5)2s o(5)_2so(5)2​. Finally, we discuss physical applications, specifically proving spontaneous B\mathcal{B}B-symmetry breaking (SSB) of these MFCs. The discussion also includes predicting ground state degeneracies and SSB in massive renormalization group flows from two non-unitary minimal models.
